**[Introduction of Generative AI Service] Neosapience typecast using AI virtual actor**
One of the reasons why the general public is interested in generative AI, such as ChatGPT, is the advantage of being able to create content that was difficult to create, such as voice and video, more easily than before by using generative AI service. It is known that there are many content creators in Korea, the number of YouTube revenue generating channels is 979,000, which is the second largest in the world. Interest in generative AI, such as ChatGPT, is bound to grow just because it makes content production convenient for them.
As a result, generative AI services that help create content are on the rise. Among these, typecast is one of the most popular generative AI services that help create content.Typecast is a service that helps users produce audio and video content using artificial intelligence (AI) virtual actors.
To put it simply, if you input a script into Typecast instead of recording/recording in a studio, you can receive a recording file performed by an AI voice actor and download a video of moving mouth shapes and facial expressions played by a virtual human. In other words, with Typecast, anyone can use artificial intelligence voice actors who can dub with the voices of various characters instead of video content starring virtual humans as long as they can input text with a keyboard.
This service was created by Neosapience (CEO Kim Tae-soo). Neosapience is a startup founded in 2017 by artificial intelligence experts from KAIST and Qualcomm.The company developed an artificial intelligence-based voice and video synthesis source technology, commercialized this technology, and launched Typecast, a content production service using virtual actors, in 2019. Currently, it attracts more than 1.4 million subscribers and is growing.
Neosapience cites deep learning-based voice synthesis technology as the biggest advantage of the service. According to the company, from the beginning of its establishment, it has been sticking to technology that applies sound strength, rhythm, and pitch to voice synthesis, and unlike the awkward mechanical sound from the telephone answering system (ARS), it has a voice that makes people feel as if they are actually talking. Converted.In addition, the company explains that it has invested heavily in improving its technology, such as introducing a technology that can express emotions with AI for the first time by applying voice strength and pitch.
Kim Tae-soo, CEO of Neosapience, said, “Thanks to Neosapience’ excellent technology, Typecast learns voices that express various people’s emotions and feelings and expresses natural rhymes and emotions excellently.” We can generate images that express appropriate facial expressions and mouth shapes in real time.â?
In fact, in recognition of such technological prowess, in February 2022, it succeeded in attracting $21.5 million in Series B investment from BRV Capital Management, an Asian growth investment platform of Bluerun Ventures, an investment company in Silicon Valley, USA. Stick Ventures, Quantum Ventures, Albatross In Vestment, Daekyo Investment, and Time Works Investment also joined in this investment, and a total of KRW 31.8 billion has been invested so far.
Neosapience recently entered the overseas market in earnest and actively recruited global market experts, recruiting CBO Lee Eung-gon from SK who is an expert in consulting and business to advance into the global market.
CEO Kim Tae-soo said, â??Through the Typecast service, users are easily creating content using virtual characters and virtual humans, and they can access content that actually uses Typecast on YouTube and other platforms.â? We will continue to innovate the value of our products so that more content creators can produce high-quality videos more quickly and easily.â?
Meanwhile, Taesoo Kim, CEO of Neosapience, will make a presentation under the theme of ‘the future of content production using generative AI technology’ at the ‘Service Case Analysis and Prospect Seminar using generative AI such as ChatGPT’ on the 19th. At this event, not only Neosapience, but also major generative AI startups such as Upstage, Allganise, Skelter Labs, Tunip, and Rutten Technology will present cases of generative AI utilization services developed by themselves.
